Investment process


The investment objective is to secure capital growth from a portfolio of securities of companies engaged in Health and Pharmaceuticals. Securities representing all such companies in the developed and advanced emerging segments of the FTSE All-World Index will normally be held with weighting generally proportionate to their market capitalisation.
The largest 90% of companies by market cap are covered, which number around 90. Since Pfizer exceeds the 10% limit in any one stock imposed by IMRO, the trust will hold Medium Term Notes to simulate the performance of the shares. The fund fully replicates the index.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Past performance or any yields quoted should not be considered reliable indicators of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex; they may also have risks relating to the geographical area, industry sector and/or underlying assets in which they invest. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
